Chug, he also, as AOC 25 Gp (I think) offered me a flight back in his helo from an inspection. My brief had been quite specific however, I was to RTU asap. To accept his offer I would have had to night stop with the AOC in Borrowdale.
To my continued chagrin and regret I followed orders and caught the train back. Apart from the Rate 1 for an overnight journey the AOC got back before me.
At least I learnt not to turn down offers in future.
